When You're Lonely lyrics

When we first met, we talked for hours.

You wore that dress, the one with flowers.

When you walked in, I saw the rest of my life.

Were we pretending, all those nights

dancing to silence in the moonlight?

Was it a beautiful waste of time?

You only call me to say you miss me

when I'm far away from home.

You only call me to say you want me.

You only love me when you're lonely, oh.

(You only love, love me when you're lonely...)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely...)

We keep spinning back around

and we always end up here.

When you mix jealousy with sympathy, oh,

whoa, it always ends in tears.

You only call me to say you miss me

when I'm far away from home.

You only call me to say you want me

when you think I'm not alone.

You only tell me what I wanna hear

when you think that I'm not listening.

Does it matter anyway?

You only love me when you're lonely, oh.

True love... doesn't always last forever

True love... can't always keep two lovers together.

Oh, this is true love.

This is true love, oh.

Don't call me to say you miss me

when I'm far away from home.

You only call me to say you want me

when you think I'm not alone.

You only tell me what I wanna hear

when you think that I'm not listening.

Does it matter anyway?

You only love me when you're lonely, oh.

(You only love, love me when you're lonely...)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely...)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely...)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely...)
